I am designing an Android app and I'm having a couple of layout issues.
I have a screen with 3 EditTexts on it in a row, and I would like for the 'next' key on the soft keyboard to cycle between the EditText fields. As for now, the 'next' key has no effect.
Also, when the soft keyboard is displayed, it covers up the third of the EditTexts. Is there any way to push up the layout in the event that the soft keyboard is drawn?
Thanks!
For the second problem, on your <activity> element of the AndroidManifest.xml use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize":
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
</activity>
Make sure you have wrapped the content of your layout into a ScrollView, so that it will be easily browsable.

In my Android app, when a user clicks on EditText the keyboard appears and just pushes all the screen views upwards dislocating my UI components.
How can I solve this issue, I want the keyboard to overlay over my UI components and then the user can type what he/she wants.
Add this to the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
In the layout file of one of my activities I've got 2 inputs at the top and at the bottom and a next button.
The problem is, when keyboard shows, it covers the button. How can I bring the views above keyboard?

You can use android:windowSoftInputMode attribute to specify what should happen whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls.
In your manifest file
<activity name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">
...
</activity>

Just put in manifest..
Use "adjustResize"
It makes main window always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen.
<application
......
>
<activity
.............................
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize" />
</application>
I am facing issues when soft keyboard opens up on my 2 pane layout as seen above.
For the left side list view fragment i want to adjustPan the soft input. If i don't do this then when the soft keyboard closes it leaves back blank space on the list fragment.
For the right side detail pane i want to adjestResize the soft input so that user can enter text into both edit texts and click button with soft keyboard still open.
I tried setting the properties differently for my fragments in their respective onCreateView() using setSoftInputMode() but that did not help me much because both fragments got adjustResize finally.
Any solutions/ideas which will help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
to ensure that the system resizes your layout to the available
space—which ensures that all of your layout content is accessible
(even though it probably requires scrolling)—use "adjustResize":
<application ... >
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" ... >
...
</activity>

Please go through this tutorial
I done a form with 5 edittexts but when the keyboard is going to show the last two edittext I can't see.
Only way to switch to the next fields is to use the buttons on the keyboard.
There is any solution to add a scroll without use the buttons?
I tried with sdk 3, resize keyboard and other things like that.
Why not keep the entire layout in a scrollview. And add the attribute to the activity in manifest file
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">
So when the keyboard is shown, the layout will be scrollable.

Have you tried adding the android:windowSoftInputMode tag to your activity in the manifest? From what you are describing I would think that either adjustResize or adjustPan should work.
I have a LinearLayout and an associated Activity. In my view there is an EditText's box and a bunch of Buttons. When I start the application, focus goes immediately to the EditTexts box and the soft keyboard comes up. Is there a way to avoid this so that it just comes up with nothing selected and no soft keyboard popping up? I have tried findViewById().clearFocus() and requestFocus() on different views, but nothing seems to work.
Change your Activity settings in manifest like below:
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
</activity>
